I know the flame war will probably start with the posting of this. But, here again, I feel it is necessary to note how others are perceiving the hidden agenda of the Tea Party.

I have yet to hear any insightful commentary on this issue other than the usual defacto censures or dismissives of discrediting the sources as being either “racists, divide-and-conquer monsters, Neocons, ignorant etc.,” I find this troubling from members of this PP Forum who claim to be steeped in the reality of what is really going-on, as oppose to the “others” who have blindly “drunk the kool-aid.”

I am not implying that wanting less government interference and demanding accountibility by our elected officials, and taking this government back from the banksters etc., is not a novel goal that we are all trying to aspire. However, if it looks like a duck, and common folks are calling it a duck, shouldn’t it at least be given some productive analysis?

To put our heads in the sand and pretend that the comments being made by other affected groups and others is not important, I think would be a big mistake. ==========================
